HOLLYWOOD—The case is still
cold for Hollywood police in the murder of a
Cudahy man in March. However, their efforts
have not subsided.

The mystery stems from the murder of 21 year old Miguel
Macias. Macias was found shot to death in
Hollywood
while waiting for the bus, police believe. The murder leaves little evidence
for police, in that, Macias was not robbed and appeared to have no gang ties.
All aspects of the case are being re-examined, but police still remain at
square one.

Police do know that Macias worked in
Hollywood, but don’t know if he resided
there. His body was found near
Santa
Monica Boulevard and
Beachwood Drive, according to the Los
Angeles Police Department.

Macias had family and friends in
Cudahy. Police believe that he may have lived
there himself, but have no evidence of that. Police don’t find Macias’
whereabouts in
Hollywood
to be of a suspicious nature, in that, he worked as a busboy at the Seven-Forty
Club. He took the bus from wherever he resided to work each day. The police
have said that although the victim being in
Hollywood is baffling, it is not being ruled
as suspicious.

The investigation is ongoing. Police hope to have breaks in
the case with the help of local residents. At present, officials are looking
into the possibility that the victim lived in
Hollywood. With that confirmation, they can
begin to look deeper into what may have caused this crime.

Police still plan to question family of the victim, but they
are asking local residents with any information to contact Detective Robert
Vargas at 213-972-2910.
